NOVEL NEXT Chapter 55: Journey to the City Where Time and Space Overlap
The Gods’ Journey and New Discoveries
Departing from Aerial
After completing their adventure in Aerial, Loki (Satoshi Koizumi) and his companions set off for a new destination. This time, they were heading to a city where multiple dimensions and timelines overlap, as suggested by Lydia. It was said that in this city, they could explore the truths about the multiverse theory and the evolution of life.
Loki: “Alright, everyone. Are you ready to set off for our next destination?”
Noah (Spirit): “Yes, Loki-sama. Everything is packed and ready.”
Minerva: “Ellis, do you have all the necessary magical tools?”
Ellis: “Yes, Minerva-sama. I’ve got everything prepared.”
Asclepius: “Loki, I hope you’re fully prepared this time and not slacking off.”
Loki laughed and replied, “Don’t worry, Asclepius. This time, I’ve made sure everything is in order.”
Minerva smiled gently at Loki, “Loki, as long as you’re focused, there’s nothing we can’t overcome.”
Loki: “Ah, Minerva, it’s because you’re with me that I can keep pushing forward.”
Lydia: “In this new city, there are frequent occurrences of time and space overlapping. There, we might find new clues about multiverse theory and the origins of life.”
Crossing the Ocean
The group boarded a ship and continued their journey across the vast ocean. Onboard, they shared their thoughts and excitement about the upcoming adventure.
Gaia: “Crossing this wide ocean… I wonder what kind of adventure awaits us on the other side.”
Uranus: “New discoveries and new places. I’m looking forward to it.”
Asclepius: “Loki, try not to slack off this time. I’ll be watching you.”
Loki: “I know, Asclepius. With you keeping an eye on me, I can’t afford to relax too much.”
Minerva playfully tapped Loki’s arm. “But honestly, Loki is someone we can all rely on. His quick thinking and courage always impress me.”
Loki: “Thanks, Minerva. It’s because of your support that I can keep doing my best.”
Meeting New Allies
Along the journey, Loki and his companions met various new allies. Each brought their own unique skills and knowledge to the group, strengthening their resolve for the journey ahead.
Minerva: “Ellis, let’s take this opportunity during the voyage to test some new spells.”
Ellis: “Yes, Minerva-sama. I’m excited to try them out.”
Arrival on New Land
After several days at sea, the group finally reached new land. Together, they began their trek toward the mysterious city where time and space overlapped.
Gaia: “Look, those mountains in the distance. That must be where we’re headed.”
Uranus: “Yes, the city where time and space intertwine should lie beyond those peaks.”
Traveling Over Land
After disembarking, the group used horses and magical vehicles to traverse the land. Along the way, they encountered various landscapes and creatures that stirred their sense of adventure.
Loki: “Look at this, Noah. The scenery here is truly breathtaking.”
Noah: “Indeed, it’s a remarkable sight, Loki-sama.”
Minerva took Loki’s hand, smiling softly, “I’m glad I get to see this with you.”
Loki smiled back. “This journey is even more special because I’m sharing it with you.”
Camping and Conversations
At night, the group set up camp and gathered around a fire, sharing stories and thoughts about what lay ahead.
Asclepius: “Loki, what kind of adventure do you think awaits us in the next city?”
Loki: “I’m sure there will be new challenges, but with you by my side, I know we can overcome anything.”
Minerva leaned against Loki’s shoulder, “Let’s face it together. As long as you’re with us, there’s nothing to fear.”
Loki: “Thank you. With you here, I feel invincible.”
Elias’ Confession
As they sat by the fire, Elias confided in Vishnu about his life in the modern world.
Elias: “Vishnu-sama, in the modern world, I went by the name Alex Matthews and worked as a researcher.”
Vishnu: “Alex Matthews? That’s… the same senior researcher I frequently collaborated with!”
Elias: “Yes, without our memories of this other world, I never thought we’d meet again like this.”
Vishnu: “I’m astonished. I had no idea you were such a brilliant researcher. I never suspected.”
Elias: “Well, I never had the chance to mention it. But I’m really glad to be adventuring with you again.”
Lydia’s Advice
After Elias’ confession, Lydia shared more information about the upcoming city.
Lydia: “In this new city, the phenomenon of overlapping time and space is quite frequent. Hidden within that, we might find crucial clues about the multiverse theory and the evolution of life. We’ll need to find those clues to deepen our understanding.”
Loki: “Lydia, your advice is always spot-on. Thanks.”
Lydia: “My pleasure. I’m looking forward to discovering new things together.”
Reaching the City Where Time Warps
After several more days of travel, Loki and his companions finally reached the entrance to the city where time and space overlapped. They all stood in awe of the magnificent sight before them. As they approached, time and space began to warp, showing glimpses of different worlds all at once. The fantastical sight left them speechless.
Loki: “Look at this, Noah. Time is warping… It’s like we’re seeing other worlds merging together.”
Noah: “It’s absolutely astonishing, Loki-sama. What could this mean?”
Lydia began to explain, “This city is a place that only gods are meant to enter. The distortion in time and space represents the boundary.”
Gaia: “So, we’re the only ones who can step into this place?”
Uranus: “Exactly. With our powers, we should be able to uncover the secrets of this city.”
Entering the City
Loki and his group crossed the warped boundaries of time and space and stepped into the city. It was as though multiple eras and locations coexisted at once, creating an otherworldly and mysterious atmosphere. The air was filled with an undeniable sense of magic and the unknown.
Minerva: “This place… it’s so beautiful. It feels like we’re in a dream.”
Ellis: “Minerva-sama, I believe our exploration here will grant us incredible new knowledge.”
Asclepius: “We don’t know what lies ahead, but let’s trust in our powers and move forward.”
Loki: “That’s right. Everyone, let’s work together to make this adventure a success.”
Lydia: “We should seek out the leader of this city. That will help us gather even more crucial information. Let’s go.”
With their spirits high, Loki and his companions ventured deeper into the city where time and space overlapped, eager for the adventures and discoveries that awaited them.
